AS Roma is looking for a chance to overturn their series against Feyenoord for the final leg of their quarter-final series. The first leg of their quarter-finals series ended with a 1-0 lead for Feyenoord. This is the reason why Roma is looking to switch the results and eventually win the series. Roma just need a goal in order to take away the advantage of their opponent and stand a chance for the next round. Feyenoord on the other hand is looking to extend their lead and eventually win the series for the next round. Nonetheless, expect these two teams to give their all for this important match for both squads. This meeting will be on April 21, 2023, at 3:00 AM (GMT+8), as Roma play hosts.
Prior to this match, these two teams already have four meetings, with all meetings coming from a UEFA-related match. They met for three times in the Europa League, and once in the Conference League. Moreover, from those meetings, it was the hosts who has a better record, winning twice. The visitors on the other hand only have one win, which comes from their first leg win. Moreover, in the Europa League, the hosts won four of their five games at home, which gives them confidence here. Meanwhile, the visitors are winless in their away matches in the contest, suffering two defeats.
AS Roma
Following their loss in their first leg, Roma is fortunate that they will come into this match from a 3-0 win against Udinese. It was the goals from Edoardo Bove, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Tammy Abraham who gave them the victory. As they are playing at home in this match, they could use it for their advantage. They have been playing well at home in the Europa League, winning four of their five home games. This is what Roma needs as they are in-need of wins here, in order for them to win the series. They are down by one goal, which puts them at the disadvantage here. However, despite being at the disadvantaged, Roma remains to be optimistic of their chances in the second leg. Fortunately for them, they were able to have Tammy Abraham back, as he is a key piece for them.
In addition to the key pieces for Roma, Paulo Dybala is returning for the second leg, giving his squad more confidence. However, Ola Solbakken, and Rick Karsdorp both remain to be unavailable in this game.
Feyenoord
Feyenoord is coming into this match with more confidence as they were able to continue their winning run on their domestic league. Aside from their win in the first leg, they also won domestically in a 3-0 win. On that match, it was Santiago Gimenez, Sebastian Szymanski, and Calvin Mac-Intosch who ensured their squad’s win. This win gives them more confidence for this match after a 1-0 win on their first leg. It seems like this is Feyenoord’s way of revenge when they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the Finals last season. However, they need to protect their one-goal lead to win here. They are going against a team who is capable of doing wonders, which is why their one-goal lead is not safe. With that, Feyenoord will be needing to go all-out here, despite their advantage.
Fortunately for them, they will be with Justin Bijlow after sustaining a wrist injury during their first leg. However, Quinten Timber is an absentee for this squad.

AS Roma (1.0)
